    This has the potential to be a really nice hotel, but it needs some better management. It's very loud there's only a few rooms per floor and you can hear the elevator every time it dings. The rooftop bar was kind of pleasant. The taco restaurant we waited an hour to get some chips and salsa, completely unacceptable they were out of chicken they were out of steak they were out of everything on a Sunday night. This is justA really nice part of town it's too bad this is not a better hotel for 300+ a night it should be exceptional in Sandusky Ohio.

    We visited Sandusky Ohio last month in February for our birthday weekend getaway. We live just over an hour away and wanted to explore the area. Usually Sandusky is a great summer destination for us because we love Cedar Point amusement park. But there are still things to do here in the winter as well. The hotel staff that greeted us were so nice and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Thank you to Nicole and Risey. The hotel is quaint and has only 4 rooms per floor with a penthouse on the third floor. Our room was decorated beautifully with exposed brick behind the bed. The hotel featured a Mexican restaurant, a favorite for us. We will definitely come back and stay again!

    Gorgeous, small hotel with a great location. I stayed for 3 nights and picked Hotel Kilbourne because it's near a lot and I was a sucker for the brick wall decor and knew there wouldn't be a bunch of families staying there. Pros: The staff is very friendly and I loved the room. Comfy bed, large TV, nespresso machine, very clean, amazing waterfall shower and a lot of extra towels. It is right on the water so even if you don't have a lake view room, it's just a short walk and it's near a lot of bars and restaurants. Amazing rooftop access, you can even see Cedar Point! Free coffee and tea in the lobby in the morning. Cons: Our city view was actually a few of the parking lot so if possible, try to get the lake view! You could hear everything happening outside of the hotel as well as next to and above you. Very thin walls so if you need quiet, this probably isn't the place for you. Our pillows smelled HORRIBLE. I'm not sure if it was just a fluke but they honestly smelled like fart. We took off the pillow covers and that helped. The last con was just that there wasn't very much information about the rooftop bar. We were never sure of the hours and when we wanted to go, it was always insanely crowded so I wish we could have experienced that. All in all, I would stay again but not 100% sure it's worth the price unless you get a lake view!

    This place is really chic and cute. The brick walls and modern bathroom accompanied by a large shower makes the place really fun to stay. However, it sounds better than it is. The rooftop bar is small and can become crowded fast, as well as the restaurant on the main floor. This makes getting to your room a hassle when a lot of people are around. When your room is directly below the bar, expect a very noisy experience. The shower head was gross and didn't look like it had been cleaned in a while. I didn't mean to remove the sheet that covered the mattress, but I'm glad I did. Why is this hotel still using this mattress cover if it's obviously stained with urine? Why is this acceptable? Can't say I'm surprised, it's an average hotel. Can't expect "too" clean.

Reviews were great so we quickly pulled the trigger! Check in process was super simple. You can check in on the app and you can actually pick your room. Since we have never stayed here before, we didn't have a preference so we let them pick. We quickly verified the ID at the front desk and we were on our way to our room. Receptionist were both very friendly and even offered us waters. They do have hot coffee and hot water for tea/hot chocolate available 24/7 in the lobby. They also have a 24/7 store at the desk with sooo many snacks and drink options! They have multiple TVs, sittting areas and shuffle board/foosball in the lobby, which we saw lots of people enjoying. Our room was spacious. Plenty of room for storage. It smelled fresh and clean. The shower was perfect size, just wish the water was a bit warmer. My boyfriend has been raving about the hand soap since the second he tried it (it's a great scent!). They have hand soap, body lotion, conditioner, shampo, body wash all hanging on the wall for your convenience. Our king bed was very comfy and the AC worked perfectly in our room. The breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I have ever eaten. So many options! I opt for the cheese egg omelets, sausage patties, and pancakes. Plenty of toppings for your pancakes, as well as toppings for yogurt and oatmeal too. Large variety of breads and carbs. It was perfect before a long day at Cedar Point! All staff was so nice and welcoming during our entire stay. Pet friendly!

The pool hours are long 7am-11pm but if you are looking for a big pool to swim in, this won't be for you. The entire pool is 3ft 9" and it's cold as ice. If you just wanna cool off for a few minutes then it's fine but to actually swim no. Also it is incredibly small and if more than one family gets in there, you will all be on top of each other. The breakfast area is clean and well-maintained. The attendants are super nice and friendly and they make sure you have what you need. The breakfast isn't horrible but it isn't the best.

I have to give a special shoutout to Kayla who was awesome checking us in! The lobby was decorated for Halloween and looked super festive and fun, so that was a nice welcome after a bit of a long travel day. The amenities are pretty good, with an indoor pool, fitness center, free breakfast, and a little snack area to buy items. Our room had a mini fridge, which I always appreciate to keep my water cold. The shower didn't drain well, but the bed was comfy. The room was a bit loud, but I sleep with earplugs so that doesn't really bother me. Our room had a door to the next room, which I always think is kind of weird if you're not with a group that you are traveling with, but we didn't have any issues. We could definitely hear people in the adjoining room talking, though. The location is nice and super easy to get downtown, plus you have a huge entertainment complex right next door with bowling, a bar, sports book, laser tag, etc. There was plenty of parking in the lot when we were there.

Holiday Inn, if you're gonna charge this much for a room, make sure you can actually be proud of what you're charging If Im paying $300.00 for 1 night it better be nicer than this

It would be super lovely if there was a shuttle between cedar point and their hotel properties. Rooms 7/10 We had a combination room. The doors were difficult to keep open so we could go between the two. They were okay. The floors were kinda gross, wouldn't recommend walking on them without shoes. There isn't really anywhere to unpack your clothes. The mattress was okay. The pillows were terrible and super flat, my neck hurt waking up each morning. The bathrooms were clean, there was shampoo, conditioner, and body wash mounted on the shower wall, but one of the rooms conditioner and body wash was completely empty and the staff never replaced it even after we asked. It was really nice to have both a mini fridge and a microwave in both rooms. Waterpark 8/10 Decent. Lots of slides, different sizes for all ages. It was really disappointing that the hot tub was closed though. Woulda been nice to stick our feet in after long days of walking at cedar point. Cafe in the Lobby: - Coffee 0/10 The employees don't know how to make majority of the drinks they have on their menu. We ordered an American with cream and a vanilla latte with oat milk one morning and the americano had no creamer and the entire latte was white; It was fully oat milk and no espresso at all. Absolutely disgusting. - Pizza 8/10. actually was ok. Looked like a frozen pizza. Tasted like a frozen pizza. Other amenities: Very little kid friendly between the dance parties, and craft room. The arcade was a decent size and lots of games. I also like that they offered mini golf, bowling and an escape room. However, they were kinda pricey.

This isn't the hotel's fault, per se, but because it's one of the cheaper accommodations, you'll be dealing with a lot of noisy kids and large parties. I gave it two stars because my partner was okay with the stay, but be warned of these things if it's something that would bother you!
